NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION: Daniel's Hill is a beautiful, historic neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Lynchburg's shops, restaurants, and events. At the end of the street is an entrance to the Blackwater Creek Trail system, which provides guests miles of paved (and unpaved) walking, hiking, & bike trails.

In our neighborhood, you'll find some brick-paved roads flanked with historic lamp posts, a bustling community center with a fenced-in park and playground, sidewalks in both directions, and architecturally impressive homes built from the 1820's to the early 1900's.

The people in our neighborhood are just as beautiful and diverse as the houses themselves, ranging from residents who have lived in the neighborhood for 50+ years and others who are new to Lynchburg. On the block alone, there are families with young children, single professionals, and elderly folks. It is a "front porch" neighborhood where everyone knows everyone and they watch out for one another. We love this neighborhood and are proud to call it our family's home.

POTENTIAL FOR NOISE: The home is located in historic Daniel's Hill and has beautiful views of the James River. Also situated on the river is a historic iron pipe factory and a railroad. It is fascinating to watch trains go by on occasion and watch the workings of a 24-hour factory (a rare glimpse at American manufacturing!), but please note there is a risk for noise. Our family lives in the neighborhood and is not bothered by it, but we realize it may not be for everyone and some nights work out to be worse than others. We provide a white noise sound machine in the bedrooms should guests feel they need it.

family get together and sightseeing
Great location and plenty of room to spread out or gather and visit. Everything we needed to be comfortable and relax. We especially enjoyed proximity to trail to walk in to downtown and come back and sit on back deck and relax The house is well stocked with everything we needed.

Nice home for multiple families
We enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We had four adults and seven children, there was plenty of room and beds for everyone. The house was clean, kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to make meals at home. It was so convenient having some essentials supplied by the host such as coffee, sugar, shampoo, conditioner, paper towels, etc. The beds were super comfy. I had read in some previous reviews that the noise from the factory behind the house was disturbing, we definitely agree. We came prepared with ear plugs but the noise from the fork trucks in the middle of the night woke us up several times. The neighborhood was ok. Not exactly the nicest but we did not have any problems and we did not feel unsafe. The owner quickly responded to questions we had prior to our stay and check in was very easy. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home for a vacation.

Candy Apple Christmas Vacation
Property is adorable and spacious. It had a special treat of a gorgeous big Christmas tree. We did have an issue with oven not working but management responded timely and maintenance arrived within a few hours. TV’s only had streaming. No national stations which was not ideal. But overall the house was great.

Wedding Week
The Candy Apple was the perfect home for our family to celebrate our son's wedding in Lynchburg, VA. We selected this home to meet the needs of our large family coming from Florida for the wedding. It was extremely clean, had plenty of room for everyone, was perfect for children, and our host, Amy, could not have been more accommodating. She answered all my questions and made our stay wonderful. Definitely will return.

Lovely Home
We were in town for a wedding. The home was spacious, clean and close to so many things to do. We saw deer on our walks. Super nice people at the community center, which is where we hung out for about an hour before the house was ready. We do plan on visiting again!

Great place for a family!
We stayed at Candy Apple this weekend and it was perfect for our family! There was plenty of room for our teenage sons, our college daughters, and the grandparents. We were even able to bring our dogs so our daughters could see them! The house was spacious, clean, and extremely pet friendly. The owners thought of everything- from a snack basket on the counter to extra dog treats!😊 We have been visiting Lynchburg long enough to know that most of these rental houses are in “older” parts of town, so we weren’t surprised by the location and the neighbors all seemed nice. After reading other reviews, I wondered if noise from the pipe factory would be an issue, but it wasn’t at all- no one in our family even mentioned it! We will definitely stay here again next time we bring our dogs.
